Chapter 428: Is This a Viable Business

Chapter 428

Ran Ran had never seen anything like this before. It looked a bit like a toad, but it was much more beautiful and exotic than a toad.

"Ran Ran, I didn't expect that making such a beautiful piece of jewelry could be so simple," Mo Jiuye said.

As He Zhiran told Mo Jiuye the auspicious legend about the pi xiu, explaining its meaning of good fortune, she took out the tools for grinding and polishing and started working on the pi xiu pendant she had made in the mold.

Of course she wasn't a professional jewelry maker, and she was relying completely on the faint memories from her previous life.

Even so, once it was finished, the pi xiu pendant looked just as good as the jewelry bought online, with no difference in luster or delicacy of detail.

After hearing about the auspicious meaning of the pi xiu and seeing the finished pendant his wife had made, Mo Jiuye couldn't help praising her.

"Ran Ran, I didn't expect this strange little creature to have such a good meaning. Businesspeople will surely like it.

And the jewelry you've made here can definitely be considered top-tier in our place."

He Zhiran smiled even more proudly. "What do you think, will this business work?"

"It'll work, it'll work. Ran Ran, you're so clever, I really don't know what other things I don't know about are still in your little head."

As he spoke, Mo Jiuye affectionately stroked her smooth hair, his face showing an expression of pride in his wife.

Right after, He Zhiran bought several more kinds of jewelry molds and had Mo Jiuye make them.

Before long, Mo Jiuye had produced several beautiful gold rings, bracelets, and other pieces.

He Zhiran inspected the workmanship, then gathered them into a pile.

"Husband, when you have time, take these to show Tang Mingrui and ask if he's willing to partner with us in the jewelry business."

Pausing a moment, He Zhiran added, "You can tell him that besides these, we can also make inlaid gemstone and jade jewelry."

He Zhiran hadn't actually seen the process of inlaying gems and jade in her previous life.

But when buying the molds, she had noticed there were types for inlaying, so she figured with a little research she could figure it out.

General Jin still has his life for now, but the situation isn't good. A master who can dispel Gu poison has been found, but without the mother Gu worm, he can't dispel it.

Hearing that General Jin was still alive and Emperor Shunwu had found someone who could dispel Gu poison meant there was still hope.

"Husband, let Little White rest in the space for a day. Tomorrow it can set off for the capital with the Gu worms," He Zhiran suggested.

"Mm, that's what I was thinking too. But with Little White's size, carrying three porcelain bottles with mother Gu worms will be hard for it to fly." This was Mo Jiuye's biggest headache.

After all, neither he nor He Zhiran could tell which bottle had the Gu worm controlling the child worms inside General Jin's body.

He Zhiran really couldn't distinguish them either. The bottles weren't light, and Little White truly wouldn't be able to carry them with its strength.

After thinking it over, He Zhiran could only reveal some modern items.

She took out her phone and bought several thin, lightweight plastic containers on Taobao.

Calling them containers was a stretch. They were really just the smallest size of transparent little boxes that takeout places often used for sauces, with almost no weight when held.

Not only that, the little boxes had sealed lids, so putting the mother Gu worms inside also prevented any chance of them escaping.

Mo Jiuye knew his wife was going all out to save General Jin's life, getting out these odd little boxes.

But he already had an excuse for them prepared. The Gu worms had come from Mr. Si Meng anyway, so no one would think that the two of them had repackaged the worms.

Even if someone was suspicious, they could only suspect Mr. Si Meng had gotten the strange boxes from somewhere.

He Zhiran hadn't considered any of this. She was used to her husband finding ways to gloss over the strange things she brought out, so this time would be no different.

The couple carefully put the three Gu worms into the new plastic boxes, then Mo Jiuye tied them to Little White's legs.

On the surface they looked a little clumsy, but to Little White they had almost no weight and wouldn't impede its flight, as long as it flew high enough.

In addition, Mo Jiuye wrote a note to Fei Nanyu, saying these were the Gu worms controlling the important ministers at court.

As for how to handle them, Emperor Shunwu's summoned Gu dispelling master would know better than anyone.
